Betty Charlton, 1931-2021
The Club is very sad to announce the death of long-standing member Betty Charlton on Wednesday 3 November at the Priscilla Bacon Hospice. For many years she and Peter raced their Farrington 25, Henrietta, to good effect, travelling round from the northern rivers with great regularity to support our regattas and often taking trophies home with them. When Henrietta became too much for them, they bought their motor boat, Damsel and Betty continued to support the Club as a committee member and shore crew at events, where she was often to be seen selling raffle tickets. Many people were also fortunate enough to be invited to eat her cakes, which were always greatly appreciated. Betty and Peter continued boating right up to this summer and her unfailingly cheerful presence at our events will be sorely missed. A fuller obituary can be found under the Past Members tab.

DISPLAY OF REGISTRATION NUMBERS
New Page 1
Dear RCC members,
At our AGM in November 2018 there was some discussion about the display of
Registration Marks and in certain cases concerns were voiced about formal
correspondence received by yacht owners. The committee has been
endeavouring to clarify the situation. At that time, the class captain
Mels Farrar wrote to the Broads Authority seeking assurances.
The class welcomed representatives from the B.A. and the NSBA at our January
committee meeting, where we were able to discuss this situation in more detail.
Since then a small group of the main committee has met with the B.A. on two
occasions during February. For both parties this has been rewarding,
with constructive dialogue resulting in clarification that benefits both the RCC
membership and the officers of the B.A.
Below, you will see an updated excerpt from the B.A. Display of Registration
Marks document, which is the result of our engagement with the B.A. - We are
very grateful to have had this opportunity and have also developed some
suggestions of our own for RCC owners. These bullet points complement the
B.A. requirements, and if followed ensure that your vessel meets the
requirements to display Registration Marks and at all times be identifiable.
Broads Authority - Display of Registration Marks document (sect 6)

River Cruiser Class - 'Best practice'
In addition to the guidance in Section 6, Broads Authority 'Display of
Registration Marks' we recommend the following to our members;
1. All yachts should have their registration numbers
displayed on their bows, or on a board mounted below the bowsprit.
2. As a class, all R.C.C. registered yachts should
display their name on the transom, excluding yachts with long, low counter
sterns or those with canoe sterns.
3. Whenever the name of your yacht is obscured, such as
when motoring - we strongly recommend that owners either display Registration
Marks which are visible from astern, or display their Registration Marks on the
outboard motor cowling, so that a vessel may be readily identified.
4. All R.C.C. members should keep both the class and the
Broads Authority appraised of changes in ownership (inc. contact details) as
soon as possible.
If you need a duplicate set of Registration Mark stickers, these are available
directly from the Broads Authority.
As a committee, we hope that this resolves any queries or concerns that you have
had regarding the display of Registration Marks. Also, we appreciate your
support in following the B.A. requirements and our own suggestions on this
matter.
Best regards
James Dugdale
RCC Captain.

Lifejackets
Would all club members and visitors participating in club races, or other organised water-borne club activities, please note that with immediate effect the committee strongly recommend the wearing of personal flotation devices whilst you are active on the water.
Additionally, you are reminded of ISAF Rule 1.2 which states, “Each competitor is individually responsible for wearing a personal flotation device adequate for the conditions."
Officers of the Day may make it mandatory for life jackets or similar to be worn while racing, with the penalty for not doing so being disqualification from the race in question.
This is for your own safety and all skippers and boat owners should ensure sufficient personal buoyancy aids for all crew members are carried on board at all times.

Advice to Broads Boat Users
The following has been issued by the Broads Authority:
Due to the ongoing works being carried out by BESL (Broadland Environmental Services Limited) on behalf of the Environment Agency, and in conjunction with exceptionally high water levels, the following advice is given to all boat users:
· Keep well away from the edge of riverbanks - piling that is normally visible can be covered during project works and certain weather and water levels conditions.
· If in any doubt, sailing craft should tack short to avoid any potential hazards.
· Take note of any port and starboard marks and keep seaward of any temporary red warning markers denoting a potential hazard or obstruction. Be wary and keep clear of any work vessels, rigs, cranes, digger arms, barges and ground anchors.
· Check any area thoroughly before you attempt to moor and do not be tempted to moor where instructed not to do so.
· Boats must give way to towed or heavily loaded vessels or vessels restricted in their ability to manoeuvre - only overtake when advised by the skipper of the vessel.
· Report any new hazards or obstructions to the Broads Authority River Control on 01692 678459.
This advice applies until further notice.
